Wonderful, this is what I feel when I see a Confederate flag. The reason is, it is the flag of the Confederate army, and my ancestors who join this army in order to do their duty to defend their homes, their families against a military invasion
when all the Southern states wanted was to be left alone, and to secede from the Union and it’s unfair controls and Tariffs that were in affect in the South. The war was not about slavery, the war began by Lincoln in 1861, slavery had been allowed in America since 1607, in the North and South, and the U.S. Government did not end it. Lincoln only acted in 1861 because the 11 Southern states and a couple of Northern states wanted to leave the Union, and the 11 Southern states did. Lincoln and his advisers, his money men, all knew they would loose a gigantic economy if the South left, and invaded. He expected the war to last 6 months when he invaded in 1861, so in 1863 when he was no closer to ending the war he and his cohorts decided to release the slaves in the South to get new manpower for the union army.

Yes, you have been lied to, and my wish is for you to really dig in to the facts, then you will understand why I say the flag makes me feel wonderful.
